Yang Yinglong is a very interesting person, since Pinto brought back the news of Malacca's permission to trade, he lived in Xiangshan for a few days, and when he had nothing to do, he ran to Haojing, which had just lifted the ban on Hong Kong, and when he came back, he always looked serious and thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Mu had been busy pondering the distribution of merchant ships, coupled with the diligence of running to the Ordnance Bureau, he wanted to determine the airtight form of the Franco machine gun as soon as possible, and he didn't pay attention to him, until ten years later, this guy came to the door and asked Chen Mu a question very seriously and suspiciously.

"General Chen, Franco, they only give birth to men, they can't give birth to women...... ** can also give birth to dolls?"

Chen Mu didn't know how to answer this question.

You are Yang Yinglong!

There are still more than 20 years to go before the rebellion, the time is tight and the task is heavy, you say that you don't have much interest in military politics, you are greedy for enjoyment every day, drink a pot of tea and run a few horses to death, and run away from my Nanyang Wei Suit rich second generation, why are you still studying philosophy and biology here.

What's wrong with you!

"Of course, there are women, but there are no mirrors, and they have to cross the sea by boat from far away, and the people at sea will get sick, let alone far from the country." Chen Mu smiled and said, "There are no Yiren women here, there may be one in Malacca." What, want to meet a Fanyi woman? ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yinglong nodded very seriously, tilted his head and had doubts on his face: "I heard that they are called Hongmaofan, but some of them are very white and some are very black, and I didn't see the red-haired ones, is it because women have red hair, so they are called so?" ”

Yang Yinglong gave Chen Mu the feeling of being a foreigner.

Some of the Portuguese were the first to see people and look at other species, or animals; And Yang Yinglong looks at foreigners, and he is also completely looking at other animals.

"Do you want to go to Malacca? Let my son explore the road this year, and if you are familiar with the road, you can go if you want to go next year. ”

Chen Mu's ten boats have been divided, one for each of the five thousand households, one for Li Dan Huayu, one for Chen Lan and one for Bai Yuanjie, and finally the remaining two are also for Li Dan to take.

Each ship sent its own people, and thirty percent of the proceeds from the sale of goods belonged to Chen Mu, and the ten merchant ships were all in the name of the prosperity of Fujian, Guangzhou, and Hebei.

"You still have a son?"

Yang Yinglong's face was full of surprise just now, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Mu full of danger, as if he was annoyed by being played: "Your son, you can sail and still want to marry my Yang woman?" ”

What do you mean I want to marry your Yang woman, obviously you jumped over and wanted to be my brother-in-law.

"Do you think I can give birth to a son who is already able to sail a boat?" Yang Yinglong's momentum is very dangerous, but in Chen Mu's opinion, this is completely an orange cat pretending to be a tiger, which can't scare him, "I'm older than you, it's a righteous son, I do things smartly and steadfastly, I have a son, an adopted son and two righteous sons." ”

Chen Mu knew very well that the daughter of the Yang family in Banzhou was not unable to marry, and he weighed it in many ways, and he had to wait for Uncle Yan to reply before deciding whether to make this marriage.

It is certainly a good thing to be able to strengthen the ties with the Banzhou Yang family through marriage, and as he said to Yan Qingyao, Banzhou can provide extraordinary support to the Nanyang shipbuilding industry, which is certainly not a bad thing. On the other hand, judging from Yang Yinglong's style, although this little ghost is domineering, his heart is just as fragile - will refusal be regarded as an insult?

"I won't be able to go out next year, and next year I'm going to the capital and go to the country to study like my ancestors." Yang Yinglong waved his hand, looking very curious about going to Malacca, how curious he was at the moment, how disappointed he was at the moment, "Then go back to Banzhou and inherit the Banzhou consolation envoy." ”

As he spoke, Yang Yinglong pulled out a scroll of catalogues and handed it to Chen Mudao: "This is a picture drawn by a city builder, if you think it's okay, when my house is built, I will build a city according to this, and the mountain can be opened from now on, and the city will be built there——"

Mountain city.

Facing the south and building, the east is the Ordnance Bureau, the south is the shipyard, the left of the mountain is close to the Xiangshan Thousand Households, the two peaks are divided into the city pan, the main road is guarded, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Chen Mu was very satisfied with the composition, of course, he would not forget the advantages of the fortress in the defensive battle, and added to Yang Yinglong: "Let the city wall be recessed, follow the mountain slope up and down two layers, and widely spread the enemy's artillery posts, no matter which side meets the enemy, it will be subjected to two sides and three sides, and there will even be artillery flanking from above." ”

"The wood, earthwork, and stone needed to build the city can be taken from the mountain, and if it is not enough, there are granites in Haojing, and it is also feasible to demolish the abandoned Guanghaiwei." Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "It is not difficult for the ship to be transported to the riverbank. How long will it take for this city to be built? ”

Yang Yinglong spread his hands, looked at the drawings attentively and imagined the concave wall that Chen Mu said, and said casually: "How do I know, even if the materials are sufficient, it is not enough not to levy and issue conscription, and the craftsmen I brought can only make drawings and teach, and the real construction of the city depends on the servants." Guangdong will send you 20,000 conscripts, and it will be built in half a year, 10,000 will take a year, and 5,000 will take two or three years...... General Zhao Yong has to make more meritorious deeds. ”

"When your son becomes the commander of the Nanyang Guard, these two cities may be built."

"I've heard that the conscription in Guangdong is not easy to conscript, and today it will be conscripted, and tomorrow it will be in the sea to be a widow, which is not as good as our Banzhou." Yang Yinglong smiled very easily, "Even if the conscription comes, the imperial court may not have the spare money to take care of the work and food, and Nanyangwei can afford it?" ”

It's hard to build a city.

Being poured a basin of cold water by Yang Yinglong made Chen Mu wonder if it was worth it to continue to build the Nanyang Acropolis, but if he didn't repair it, wouldn't the craftsmen brought by Yang Yinglong be in vain?

"Then don't repair the city, in the next life, help me build a port water village." Chen Mu shook his head, although it was too difficult to repair the city, it was not difficult to build a port water village, and it would also take a year or two to build a giant water village, and in Chen Mu's opinion, the effect would be greater. "I want to build another shipyard, and in the future, Lingding Yangxi will use Xiangshan Shipyard to build small ships, Lingding Yangdong, and Xingang to build big ships."

"Lingding Yangdong, where is that?"

Chen Mu saw that the craftsmen of Banzhou used the ancient method and the modern method to build a three-layer wall of civil engineering and stone, and wanted to build a large port in Xin'an, and now Nanyangwei built a deep-water port, and the location is about to come out: "There is a place in the southernmost part of Xin'an, the water on the shore is very deep, even the largest giant ship can directly enter the port, and the wood generously given by Banzhou can become the first thousand-material giant ship under Chen." ”

In later generations, that place was called Victoria Harbour, but the world would not be called that anymore.

"It's okay to be idle for the past two days or so, go, call the two craftsmen, and I'll take you there to have a look." The more Chen Mu spoke, the happier he became, clapping his hands and high-fived: "By the way, take a look at the drawings of my new ship, I bought a big black ship from Portugal last year and let me dismantle it, and the craftsman is planning to build a new big ship!" ”
